    Visually compelling animation, telling masterfully written short stories. It has an animated Black Mirror vibe to it. This might be my most favorite Netflix Original series to date. Love, Death, & Robots is the highest form of art and storytelling coming together perfectly.

    Incredible. I just have to say that Netflix has some big balls just for green-lighting this project at all. You probably won't see adult animation like this anywhere else at the moment. Almost every single one of these animated shorts could have been it's own successful feature length film.

    I just can't put into words how amazing this is. Each episode is incredible. The animation types are extremely well made and with some episodeS you'll even wonder if you're not watching a movie with real life people acting in it. This is the best thing Netflix has put out in years.

    Excellent! "Love, Death, and Robots' features a number of great NSFW animated shorts. "Three Robots", "When The Yogurt Took Over" and "Alternate Histories" are my absolute favorites. I'd like to see these made into full length movies or series of their own.

    There were a few that I didnt like as well but it's just because of the style of animation or the story didnt interest me as much.    Excellent!

    Uno de los proyectos más arriesgados de la plataforma. Las historias de los cortos son emocionantes, con el ritmo que tiene que tener un corto y la animación rivaliza con las mejores producciones actuales. Un disfrute cada capítulo.

    10/10. The exact kind of movies I like to watch. I barely noticed any SJW elements too which is amazing. If anyone thinks it's too violent, too exploitative or whatever, I hope you get exploited yourself.

    I also really like the short form factor. There were 2 episodes I think that I didn't like much but the rest was great.

    WOW!!! This series snuck past me this weekend, but caught up to it last night. Went through the entirety of the 18 vignettes in one night and one morning. This was PERFECT. Top shelf Horror, Comedy, SciFi animation in bite size pieces, all different self contained stories, woooooohooooo. Thank the universe that this was allowed to be produced. This here is what I'm all about.

    This has to be one of the best series on Netflix to date. You could easily binge watch and be disappointed there isn't more. Each animated short was something different. This series remind me of buying a music album and loving every track. I would recommend this for anybody into great story telling, Sci-fi and animation.

Each story is only as long as it needs to be, never feeling like it's overstaying its welcome. While some have called it edgy for its frequent gore, nudity, and sexual themes, I didn't mind it as much, as the stories and settings all worked with the themes. All in all, a great set of stories, and I hope there are more seasons to come.… Expand

    Similar in concept and execution to the Animatrix - the animated shorts that accompanied the Matrix films.

    The third episode, for me, catapulted my view of the show significantly. It presented itself as animated crafts on top of a cyberpunk-seedy version of Hong Kong, where the journey of the main characters culminate in a philosophical statement -'the cycle of exploitation continues, involving anyone swept up in it'. It communicated this through effective action, simple desire and a careful balance of foretelling and revelation, while the art style gave my mind sufficient interest to parallel-process. The result was a very engaging experience that married emotional response and thought; I found it extremely well-done.    … Expand

    Delivering bleakness and black comedy in distilled form via stories that rarely last more than fifteen minutes, it’s like Black Mirror for the ADD-addled video game crowd. ... Love, Death & Robots is at its finest when it’s short, sweet and satirically nasty.
